ISPConfig should not conflict with mod_evasive. Whats the exact problem you had?

I kept getting 403/denied errors after installing mod_evasive on my ubuntu 10.10/ISPConfig 3 setup. Basically, I was getting blocked for 10 seconds (the default blocking period) whenever I clicked too many links too quickly in ISPConfig. After some tweaking, I have a config that still protects it, but doesn't blockout real/normal users.

Here's the full mod_evasive install and working config (it's google bot safe):

> apt-get install libapache2-mod-evasive
> mkdir -p /var/log/apache2/evasive chown -R www-data:root /var/log/apache2/evasive
> nano /etc/apache2/mods-available/mod-evasive.load

And add make it look like so:

           LoadModule evasive20_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_evasive20.so
            <IfModule  mod_evasive20.c>
               DOSHashTableSize 2048
               DOSPageCount 10
               DOSSiteCount 200
               DOSPageInterval 2
               DOSSiteInterval 2
               DOSBlockingPeriod 10
               DOSCloseSocket On
               DOSLogDir "/var/log/apache2/evasive"
               DOSEmailNotify you@email.com
             </IfModule>

Then restart apache

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
